Good Wear-Aero Collaboration

I see the John and Ken's A-2 are now on the site: http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/sale_aero18775_0001.html

Nice jacket, so this jacket is made by Aero and sold by GW??

 

[Sloan1874]

Short answer: Yes. Long one is that they are made to John's spec, stitch size etc, will have a GW label in them etc. I think the pattern is pretty much the same as Aero's own.

Made with the Vincenza HH as previously announced by Thurston. They look great.

If no one had mentioned this being made by Aero, I would have assumed it a GW!

Whilst it's good to see the collaboration, IMHO, I think that Aero GW lacks something when compared with the GW Aero.

From what I gather, John's delighted with them. Aero have gone out their way to follow the GW spec, right down to the stitch size.

Unfortunately, we can not buy these jackets from Aero directly...That means people in UK/EU can save a lot money on it. Also a shorter waiting time compare to GW??

 

[Sloan1874]

Don't what the arrangement is, really. As far as I know, the jackets are shipped to GW as stock sizes for people to purchase from him without any wait.

I think it's a brilliant marketing win/win/win. (GW, Aero and the consumer)

Quite fetching. They need to put out an A-1 .
